How Much Do Blockchain Jobs Pay?

Blockchain salaries have risen to be among the highest in the tech industry.

Date posted: 20 Jan 2019

The demand for blockchain talent is still strong. Despite the bear market
and recent industry layoffs, the number of blockchain job postings have been on
the rise, and searches for roles involving Bitcoin, Ethereum, blockchain and
cryptocurrency have increased.

Startups are offering top compensation packages, in particular for blockchain
developers, as they compete for talent in an industry
where supply is limited. The demand for blockchain talent has also grown as
established companies, such as Amazon,
Facebook and IBM, launch new
teams to work on blockchain technology, and explore blockchain use cases.

Blockchain salaries have risen to be among the highest in the tech industry.

Key Findings

We looked at all the blockchain jobs that have been listed on Cryptocurrency
Jobs to estimate the average base salary for technical and non-technical roles
in the blockchain industry across Asia, Canada,
Europe, and the U.S. We created a separate category for
remote blockchain jobs.

We excluded salary data points that were either a lot lower or higher than
expected. All average base salaries are listed in U.S. dollars. These estimates
do not factor in variable compensation, such as equity, signing bonus or any
perks a company may offer.
